Ruthless Wigan romp to dominant win over Hull KR in Challenge Cup final

Wigan 40-10 Hull KR

Warriors’ Walters dismissed late for dangerous tackle

Wigan produced another Challenge Cup masterclass to extend their record as the kings of rugby league’s most prestigious competition, ruthlessly picking apart the holders in imperious fashion.

The meeting was, on paper, set to be one of the most intriguing in recent history. The most recent two Super League and Challenge Cup champions squaring off for the first major trophy of 2026 felt too close to call, but Wigan produced an inch-perfect performance.
